1. The green light is on when the reading head receives 80% of the signal, otherwise the red light is on;
2. When the reading head senses the zero position, the green light flashes once.
Allowable position deviation between the reading head and the reference surface A-B of the grating scale.

Tips: Advantages of using an incremental optical linear encoder
- High precision position feedback: Provides highly accurate position measurements, often achieving sub-micron precision. Ideal for applications requiring precise control and positioning.
- Real-time motion monitoring: Enables immediate detection of position changes, facilitating real-time monitoring of motion status and speed.
- Reliable direction detection: Offers dependable quadrature outputs (ABZ signals) for accurate determination of motion direction, crucial for stable control systems.
- Adaptable to various environments: Exhibits robust interference resistance, maintaining accuracy in industrial settings despite vibrations, dust, or temperature variations.
- Cost-effective solution: Compared to absolute encoders, incremental encoders typically offer cost-effective solutions without compromising on accuracy and functionality.
